{Nigella’s Everyday Brownies} – Brownies Nigella

It’s not like I were short of great brownie recipes – I’ve been baking quite a few over the years, the latest being theseCoconut Brownies, but then I found Nigella’s recipe and I was intrigued. It’s definitely cheaper than most recipes I’ve baked or seen and it’s done in a very interesting way. I was intrigued more than anything else so I decided to give it a try. Made with cocoa powder and studded with white chocolate chips and bits of walnuts, these brownies ooze with richness and chocolatiness. Nigella’s everyday brownies are just that – a recipe to make for your day to day sweet tooth bursts, a simple, less extravagant recipe, but delicious nonetheless. The original recipe calls for dark chocolate chips, but I opted for white chocolate and walnuts instead just because I wanted to add a color and texture contrast. I’m thinking to add M&Ms next time or caramel bits, maybe dried fruits or almonds or salted peanuts. The sky is the limit!

Apart from the ingredient list and the way it’s made, these brownies come forward with another out of the ordinary thing – they call for baking soda. That’s quite unusual given the fact that brownies in their fudginess don’t use baking powder or baking soda. However, I suppose Nigella knows what she’s doing, right?! I trust this gorgeous woman when it comes to desserts, pasta or simply food that is comforting more than I trust other well-known cook book writers so without further talking, let’s get to the recipe itself.
